First C&B - Sisters 02 VW Beetle (lots of pics)

Since my sisters car was having some problems I had to loan her one of mine and go and pick hers up (what a joy driving back home ). After I got it fixed I thought I would give it a "quick" detail (wash/vacuum) which turned into a pain, lol. I think this is the first time the cars been cleaned since she got it two years ago when she was 16.

How I got the car.















And the only money I got for this detail.



My wash supplies. Emptied the rinse bucket twice.



I tried to get a pic of how dirty the car was as I was washing it, you can kind of see the line in the center of the picture. (the bottom half of the door was unwashed)



And clean.















The water drops on the car is b/c it rained last night.

I know I missed some things (didn't get a chance to shampoo the carpets or seats, so yes there still stained) as I am no where near happy with the way it turned out, but she came early to get it so I had to do what I could. Cleaning the carpets took me a while as I had to vacuum, brush, repeat like 5 times. Luckily I got her floor mats when she bought the car or else I think I would have just got new carpet, lol. The lint on the dash is from the cheap MF towels I was using. All together I think it turned out 100% better then it was. When I get a chance again (sister is a few hours away) I am going to shampoo/polish the car. Hopefully it stays half way clean so I don't have to redo my work next time, lol. I'm done!

Nice job, I'm sure after you cleaned out all the trash it looked like a whole different car.

Again nice work on such a neglected car.

There is only 6 there. You never know, it could have been her and a friend drinking. And you know it was her and another girl, cause there is no way a guy would drink that sh!t.

Well either way if she had gotten stopped and an officer had seen open liquor containers (empty or not) it probably wouldn't be a very good night for her.

Seriously! My daughter turned recently 17 and her car is ALWAYS a big mess. At least she and I are cleaning her ride every other week.

Good job, your sister happy now?

Lol, I thought "underage drinking" also, right when I saw those pics! Haha. Good turnaround though.
